I came to source code control reluctantly. CVS, SourceSafe, others I’ve forgotten. One of them was very expensive, very complex, took months of customization, and then it scrambled our bits following a disk crash and the vendor had to piece things back together. An expensive nightmare.

I finally started using Subversion, and it finally clicked. Easy to understand and use. It did everything I needed, and it was intuitive. But git was gaining popularity and eventually that was the only “choice”. And I don’t get git at all. I can do a few things that I need. I often have to consult google or experts for help. While I get the concepts, the commands are incomprehensible to me. I hate it.

Subversion & Mercurial were decent. SourceSafe is utter trash. I've learned to use Git, but I've always used an IDE; I hate the CLI commands.
